I'm returning to using Eclipse after many years with different IDEs. Moreover, my fingers are most at home with Emacs. While I've set the key binding scheme in Eclipse to Emacs, I'd like to modify a few things further.
While looking at some of the commands and their current key bindings, I see key "icons" that I don't seem to know how to create and I'm wondering if there is a canonical documenation for the iconology used in Eclipse key bindings.
If nobody can point me at such documentation, then perhaps you could tell me what these keys are supposed to be? Specifically the two arrows which point down-and-to-the-right and up-and-to-the-left:
To answer the second part of my own question, the and icons refer to the Home and End keys respectively on most keyboards. Thanks to #greg-449 for the hint.
I'm still on the lookout for a complete list of key <--> icon mappings.

I'm using this neovim plugin and in the docs there are multiple mentions of keybinding with <A-something>. I know that <C-anykey> means, Ctrl+anykey. But I cannot find any reference in the internet about <A. At first I assumed it is the Alt key but it doesn't seem to work.
I also can't find the documentation about these key bindings. The docs I've read always say <C-key it doesn't even mention that <C> is Control Key. At first I thought it was just capital letter C.I'm using vim for two years now. This time I want to switch to neovim. But i'm still a noob when it comes to key bindings until now.
Please point me to the right direction as I'm totally lost here.
To answer my own question, <A> is the Alt key. I found the answer by posting the question to the repository of the said plugin I mentioned above. The Neovim documentation about key mapping still does not mention <A> as Alt key, but they refer to it as ALT.
In Eclipse, it seems like all the keyboard shortcuts work, except for those that zoom in/out. (I'm on Windows and using Eclipse Version "Kepler Service Release 2") I have already restored the default keys in my preferences as other StackOverflow posts have advised, but it still doesn't work. Does anyone know why? Thanks!
I'll provide an answer, but you haven't really provided enough information for anyone to be confident that they are fully dealing with your problem.
It would still be useful to know what version of Eclipse you're using.
The first thing to do, is determine exactly what the binding is for the "Zoom In" and "Zoom Out" commands, by looking in the "Keys" section in Preferences. It's easiest to type "zoom" in the filter field to limit the table to those functions. I imagine you've already effectively done this, but it is a prerequisite.
The next thing to do is look for conflicts. There are two ways to look for this. First, check the Eclipse log. It will note if there is a keybinding conflict. Second, in that same "Keys" list, remove "zoom" from the filter (if it was there) and click on the "Binding" header to sort by the key sequence. Then page through the list until you find "Ctrl++" and "Ctrl+-" in the list, which I assume are the bindings you have. What you want to check for is if there is another binding in that list where "Ctrl++" BEGINS the key sequence, and is longer than that. Do the same for "Ctrl+-".
If you still don't find any clues from this, I suppose it's possible there's something else you have installed in Windows that is capturing that key sequence. I don't know how you would check for that.
I've googled for this (perhaps poorly?) and I can only seem to find list of key bindings for vscode. So far I haven't found any list of the rules you can add to key bindings (in the when-part). Right now for example, I want to find out if there's a way to make sure a key binding is only active if I have the version control sidebar up and focused. Kind of like:
filesExplorerFocus, terminalFocus, editorTextFocus and explorerViewletFocus.
Since there is a command for setting the focus to the version control sidebar: workbench.view.scm I've experimentally tried scmFocus but to no luck.
Now this is a specific problem, but I'd really like to save myself some time and just be able to run a few ctrl+f through a document of all possible when-rules.
Vscode when clause commands. I only found it through this issue - so there may be a few other undisclosed when clauses: when clause disclosure issues. I see nothing for when the version control sidebar is active though. Perhaps ask about it at that issues page above.

Is there a hotkey for searching for references in IntelliJ when using Scala?
In Eclipse, when using the hotkey CTRL+SHIFT+G on a name, a search for references starts. This is very usefull to find where a certain method is used. Is there anything similiar in IntelliJ when using Scala ?
Ctrl+Alt+F7: Show Usages; displays pop-up with usages.
Alt+F7: Find Usages; opens the Find view, displaying usages in various ways (such as by methods and by files).
Found by doing Ctrl+Shift+A, then typing find, and seeing Show Usages and Find Usages listed. I tried search first, but that only showed settings. Now, I knew IDEA called it Usages, not References, but I avoided searching for that because you wouldn't know to search for that.
I think in version 12 in Ubuntu Linux it's Control + Alt + the number key 7 rather than F7.

How do I define a custom key binding in eclipse?
I have to admit, for a FREE PRODUCT, Eclipse really delivers. However, sometimes I have to scratch my head about certain missing features...
Eclipse has over ELEVEN HUNDRED different key bindings.
(source: rigel222.com)
I would like to use one of those KeyBindings to add a "Watch" Expression to the expressions window, while debugging.
(source: rigel222.com)
Here is an additional screenshot showing that I already understand the "filter" process. I have set key-bindings for everything I could find pertaining to "Watch", but as you can see it doesn't show up in my right-click menu, and does not function when I use the defined keyboard shortcut.
(source: rigel222.com)
Despite the prevailing opinion that this is "blatant whining", It is also a legitimate problem for me.
Please help.
I just tried it and it works: In the given dialog I entered the word watch as the filter text. The list of key bindings was reduced to three elements. I chose watch and gave a new key binding and it worked.
EDIT:
Please try to unbind the other key bindings that occupy Ctrl+F7 or give Watch another unique key binding.
